Sesame Street’s Hellish Theology
Hey, Church. Sesame Street said something that reminded me of you. “On our street, we accept all, we love all, and we respect all.” That sounds like you, doesn’t it? I’ve seen your proclamation of universal love and acceptance on signs and coffee mugs and T-shirts and reusable window stickers. You’ve made it clear that […]
The Imaginary Enemy
I got blocked by Kissing Fish Book awhile back (aka. @RogerWolseySoulCoach whom I will tag here so he can block me with that account as well) because he’s not keen on defending his statements. Many high-powered, big-time spiritual leaders don’t like to converse with insignificant, small-time people (like me) who habitually question the integrity of […]
Pastor, Family Isn’t Just The Babies
Ran across this scolding from a pastor and thought it deserved a little attention. “Her name is Kat Von D…After finding faith she has come out as a new CHRISTIAN. A couple of weeks ago she was baptized in a small Baptist church…” Great! Thanks for letting us know a new soul was added to […]
Can I Wait A Few Minutes?
Apparently, a famous tattoo artist has renounced her occultic practices and converted to Christianity. Various Christian leaders have celebrated Kat Von D’s inclusion in God’s kingdom, which is fine with me. These leaders then lamented the hatred that Kat claims to have received from professing Christians. I agree that hatred should not be tolerated among […]
When Pagans Say True Stuff
If you’ve followed my writing for awhile you may already know that one of my favorite resources for pagan incoherence is this guy (who I can’t tag because I’m blocked). I’ve not found a more prolific creator of nonsensical gibberish. I was shocked (shocked I tell you) when I saw this post. It is inexplicably […]
Aliens Come From Baby Aliens
Do Judases become Peter? Toward the end of the movie, ‘Aliens,’ the heroine (Ripley) escapes the alien nest by threatening to torch the alien queen’s batch of eggs with a flame-thrower. Ripley inches slowly toward the door while the queen eyes her menacingly, afraid to move lest her precious brood be incinerated. Just before Ripley […]
House Divided
I’ll assume you had good intentions when you shared this doozy: “The true test of Christianity isn’t just loving Jesus…It’s loving Judas.” You were trying to say that Christianity teaches love for everyone, including our enemies. You should have just said that instead of trying to be profound. (John 14:23) Jesus replied, “If anyone loves […]
Another Dilemma Solved
I’ve got good news for anyone who thinks this meme is worthy of contemplation: You NEVER have to choose between being right and being kind! This quote pasted on a decades-old photo of Denzel Washington is nonsense. It is a false dichotomy that sets up kindness and ‘rightness’ as mutually exclusive. Intelligence is under attack […]
Folks, There Is Only One Nativity
Every year, around Christmas time, it has become necessary for me to remind some alleged Christians that The nativity is not just another story of an immigrant family. It’s quite popular among self-righteous, biblically illiterate Progressive Christians to portray Jesus’ earthly family as desperate souls, victimized by powerful forces. After establishing that Jesus was ‘an […]
Don’t Give Stupid Gifts
If your gal is asking for something stupid this season, like death to the patriarchy, consider giving her something useful instead: Wisdom. Tell her that the holiday season is a time to spread joy and goodwill, not bitter ugliness. Tell her that nobody wants to listen to her gripe. The only reason she’s even thinking […]
